Forwarders enable you to have mail sent to one email account, automatically sent or "forwarded" to another email account.
For example, if you want sales@yourdomain.com to be automatically sent to your regular email address, so you do not have to constantly check sales@yourdomain.com's mail, you need to set up a forwarder. You can also set a forwarder to send mail to multiple mail accounts. If you need sales@yourdomain to send mail to your email address and your partners email address, you can also accomplish this through the use of forwarders.
To set up a forwarder, you have to login to your email control panel. You do this by by surfing to your website and add /cpanel to the address.

Example:   yourdomain.com/cpanel

Now login with the name and password you use to customize your web site. After successfully logging in, you will be presented a screen which looks like this:

Click on Forwarders.

Which will display the Forwarding Maintenance menu. This displays all the email forwarders currently set up for yourdomain.com. Located at the bottom center of the menu are the options: Add Forwarder or Go back.

Click on Add Forwarder. The Add a new Forwarder menu is displayed:

In the first box, insert the name of the email account who's mail you wish to have forwarded.

In the second box, insert the complete email address or addresses where you want the forwarded mail to be delivered. If entering multiple addresses, in the second box, make sure each address is separated by a comma.
Example: user@aol.com,user@yahoo.com,user@msn.com

The last email address does not require a comma.

Once you have entered the addresses, click on the Add Forward button.

More than likely, you are flooding the server with too many requests, per hour, to read your mail.
